Paradigm Shifts


I read a book many years ago about Paradigm shifts. The author was talking about Scientific Revolutions and had concluded that based on the history, no matter how much evidence there was to support a particular theory, if the scientific community wasn’t ready to accept it then it wasn't accepted. In fact, a whole generation of scientist usually had to die off before the new idea could flourish. What kind of new ideas?

How about Copernicus’ radical idea that the earth moved around the sun, when it looked to anyone with eyes that the sun was moving. It was proved later with the technology of the rudimentary telescope that the earth was, indeed, moving but many scientist in Copernicus day, fearing persecution by the powerful Catholic church, refused to support the evidence.

Or how about Ignaz Semmelweis, a 19th century physician who had a ludicrous suggestion that physicians  should wash their hands before attending to the mother’s in the maternity ward. He collected data showing that when physicians visited the mothers after coming from the morgue more mothers died.  It was decades before the germ theory proved him right. However, many deaths occurred in the meantime.

So, it will seem strange to you that there are people in this country who only eat raw food. That’s all. Nothing exposed to heat higher than that of a light bulb…104. The diet is made up primarily of nuts, seeds, fruit and raw vegetables. However, I caution you, not to judge these people to harshly but instead look at the evidence… Here’s a link below.

This is the week we begin to prepare for fasting. It is also our week to prepare for our own paradigm shifts.  Fittingly the verse for this week is
“Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth.” (KJV)
Or the Aramaic Translation that I will be using-
“Healthy are those who have softened what is rigid within; they shall receive physical vigor and strength from the universe.
